Family Law
We can provide advice on all aspects of family law to make the process of separation as painless as possible for you.
Relationship breakdown can be difficult and can have far reaching implications for you and your family. We can help ease the pain of separation by dealing sensitively and efficiently with all of the legal aspects of relationship breakdown. Our team of family law solicitors and legal executives have a wealth of knowledge and experience in all areas of family law.
Our family law team at Lees specialise in divorce, ancillary relief proceedings, children disputes and co-habitation disputes. Ancillary relief is the term used to describe proceedings dealing with your finances and property, which is often the most complicated aspect of a case. Our family law department is well known for its expertise and experience in dealing with high net worth assets and complex circumstances.
We manage cases pro-actively with a high degree of sensitivity and integrity, whilst being fully appreciative of your needs at all times. You will benefit from our close links with other specialist departments within the firm who are available to assist as your case progresses with any other legal issues which arise, such as transferring or selling the family home, making a will, and tax planning.
Our team of qualified family law solicitors and legal executives have considerable knowledge gained through experience and a variety of memberships including the Family Law Panel, and Resolution (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association), and a trained Collaborative Family Lawyer.
